May 9 - Why'd I stay at this place again?

by **Daniel Uriel** » Mon Jan 10, 2011 5:32 pm

Deciding that the day wasn't going to get any better sober, Daniel found himself in the XUB giving himself an unofficial lesson on cheap British beer.

"I still say this is a bad idea...." Kyra said to Altamira.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 12:21 am

"No, this is a great idea. You'll see."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 12:22 am

Daniel, in the meantime, was obliviously finishing his beer.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 12:30 am

"Hello, Daniel."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 12:34 am

Daniel looked around and saw who had come in behind him. "What?" he asked suspiciously, setting down his beer.

by **Kyra Raphael** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 12:48 am

"Hi." Kyra said, looking at the ground

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 12:48 am

"I said Hello Daniel!"

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 12:51 am

"And I see you guys coming in here for round two, so I say cut to the chase," he answered.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 12:56 am

"If you insist.

You are both acting like children. Fortunately, I have had lots of experience settling arguments with children! So we're gonna talk this out now!"

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:02 am

"No, we're not," he said, tossing some bills onto the bar. "I don't need another round of 'why Kyra's right and Daniel needs to shut up,'" he said, standing up to head out.

by **Kyra Raphael** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:04 am

"Daniel, I'm sorry." Kyra said.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:05 am

That actually made Daniel stop, though he looked like someone searching for traps as he looked at her. "For...?"

by **Kyra Raphael** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:10 am

"For being a really shitty girlfriend."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:14 am

"Thank you," he said, a bit mollified. So this time, he took a moment to finish the last drink of his beer before turning to start for the door.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:14 am

"Daniel..."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:17 am

"What?" he sighed, stopping and turning around.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:18 am

"We're here to air issues on both sides, so come back, please."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:19 am

"What's there to say," he sighed. "She didn't care about how I felt and found a 'better' guy, and we're back to her either running people off from me or turning them against me. I know how the steps to this dance go."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:22 am

"Who has she turned against you?"

by **Kyra Raphael** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:24 am

"My being with Bobby doesn't have anything to do with you." Kyra replied "And I may have screwed up, but I never tried to turn anyone against you."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:26 am

Daniel gave Altamira a 'I'm not stupid' look. "But you're with him, which means you're not with me. So... yeah, it pretty much is about me. And there's really not much else to it."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:27 am

"You still haven't answered my question."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:31 am

"You," he answered, a little irritated.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:34 am

"That's crazy talk, Daniel. I haven't been turned against you."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:36 am

He looked at her cautiously. "No change?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:38 am

"Of course not!

I just think you're being a little hard on her. You two mean so much to one another!"

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:42 am

"Yeah, I was afraid of that," Daniel sighed.

by **Kyra Raphael** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:51 am

"You don't care about me at all?" Kyra asked, sounding genuinely hurt.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:53 am

"Oh will. You. Quit it," Daniel snapped. "If I didn't why would any of this bother me at all."

by **Kyra Raphael** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:58 am

"I was trying to respect your privacy." Kyra replied "Again, we broke up. Part of that was my fault, but I didn't leave you for Bobby."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 2:04 am

"Part of..." Daniel started, disbelieving. Then he just stopped and shook his head. "And the dance starts again," he said, turning again to go.

by **Kyra Raphael** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 2:09 am

"I'll cop to part of it, but not all." Kyra said stubbornly "If you weren't so insecure, you wouldn't have felt threatened."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 2:10 am

"And if you'd actually cared about as much about me as you were pretending to, you would've actually cared that it bothered me," Daniel countered angrily.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 2:11 am

Altamira muttered to herself

by **Kyra Raphael** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 2:12 am

"Daniel, I cared that it bothered you. I just....look, this is why we can't be together. We end up fighting. But can't we be friends?"

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 2:15 am

"Oh horseshit!" Daniel shot at her, his voice rising. "Caring about it involves 'I'm sorry, I'll stop doing it,' not 'I'm right and you're an idiot for feeling like you do!'"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 2:24 am

"Are you finished?"

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 2:30 am

"You were the one who wanted this talk in the first place," Daniel said. "I was just going to let it be."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 2:30 am

"I do want this talk, yes. I was wondering if you had stated all your grievances yet."
